It's a Christmas miracle: Sky is knocking a hundred quid off your first bill if you sign up over the weekend.

Sign up before 16 December -- that's Monday -- and you'll be credited with £100 on your first bill, which means you aren't paying anything in January. Handy if you've overspent on presents and eggnog and you're suffering from that longer wait for payday.

As long as you order by Monday you should get Sky installed before Christmas -- just in time for back-to-back festive flicks on the Sky Movies Christmas channel, as well as the TV premiere of Iron Man 3, among other things.
